Get started using BidCentral to find new opportunities and manage your construction bids.
Once you’re logged in, navigate to your BidCentral Dashboard and choose Edit Opportunity Matching from the drop down menu under My Account in the upper right hand side of the screen. From here you can enter up to 10 keywords that BidCentral will use to send you emailed notices when an opportunity matching those keywords is posted.
If you have a Free account, you will be able to search by keyword for Open projects through the Project Quick Search box located on the top left corner of your screen. With a Premium or Enterprise account, upon logging in you’ll find some great search tools available to you on the Dashboard. You can search for projects using the pre-set search options located on the right side of the screen under “My Searches”. These searches are separated into categories allowing you to quickly search by region, project status or to look for the newest opportunities. You can also search using a keyword (or project number if you know it), status and host (region) using the Project Quick Search, which can be found on the left side of your Dashboard.
Once you’ve searched for opportunities and find one that’s of interest, simply click directly on the opportunity title to open the Project Sheet. Depending on your account level, this page contains pertinent information relating to the project such as the closing date and time, important contact information, site visit details (if applicable), and whether or not there are documents posted. Premium users will be able to view unlimited project information while Free users will be able to view limited data and will have the option to purchase the project documents.
